The Houston Texans’ special teams are the MVP.
On the Chiefs’ first drive, outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo blocked a Kansas City punt, which cornerback Lonnie Johnson recovered for a touchdown, the Texans’ special teams struck again.
Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill muffed a Bryan Anger punt deep into Kansas City territory. The Texans’ special teamers acted on it, as cornerback Keion Crossen came up with the recovery on the six-yard-line.
The result of the muffed punt? Shock. The crowd at Arrowhead Stadium deflated at the sight of the fumble by their superstar receiver. Even worse, for those in Kansas City, the Texans quickly scored again.
After a Deshaun Watson two-yard run, the two-time Pro Bowler connected with his red-zone mate, Darren Fells. Watch below, the two connect on a touchdown to give the Texans a 21-0 lead.
Just like that, the Texans are rolling. At this rate, a Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans AFC Championship is looking increasingly likely.
